I’m enjoying my time here. The 4 hour time difference played a few tricks on my sleeping, so luckily I had the morning to just relax. I did manage to head to the fitness center. It’s HUGE! They’ve got tons of machines and equippment, but I was most impressed by the televisions on every bike, treadmill, eliptical, stepper, etc. Plus, there are a bunch of big plasma screens around the place. Incredible.
Christy, my manager & friend, took me to Macy’s after I’d showered up and gotten ready for the day. It’s “Flower Days” or something there, and the whole first floor was surrounded in flowers. Pretty neat! I talked myself out of buying a skirt and shirt – $90 a piece! If the shirt had been right, I’d probably be poor right now. Macy’s kind of beats walking down to the old Alaska Commercial. 😉
I’m staying at the Marriott Marquis right on Broadway. My room overlooks Time Square. In fact, I have a direct view of the Good Morning America studio, and MTV’s TRL is right next door. It seems a little unreal… like these things only belong on TV.
My pre-conference meeting went well, and I saw one of my principals at registration. I also got to meet up with one of my favorite co-workers, Terri. She’s just such an uplifting person. I’m now going to take one more look through the topics I present tomorrow. I’ll be happy when tomorrow’s over and the conference is in full swing.
This will likely be my last entry over here, as the internet costs a fortune. Take a look at the pictures thus far. 🙂 Have a great week!
Glad you had a safe trip out east. What a jet setter you’ve become! Time Square and Good Morning America. I think you should head down tomorrow morning and wave in front of the Good Morning America cameras. I’d get up and turn the tv on for that! Good luck on the presentation. Break a leg. All for now. I’ll take a look at your pictures before I sign off. Barb
